Do you have good bones?

What are "good" bones? Let's explore this idea, because it may have an impact on your long-term physical health.

Your bones are living tissue; it is the most rigid tissue in the human body. Yet, it is the most dynamic and ever-changing tissue apart from blood. (1, 4,). In fact, bone is the second most active tissue development process in the human body before the age of 20 (8). Osteoblasts (2) are the cells that build up bones, and Osteoclasts (3) are cells that break down bones.

As you age, the balance between the bone-building process and the bone-breakdown process becomes unbalanced, resulting in conditions like Osteopenia (5) or Osteoporosis (6).

Is there anything you can do to be able to continue to have "good bones" in a healthy way? Yes, there is!

Most common treatments for bone loss involve pharmaceutical treatments that force your body to make your bones more rigid, and therefore make them more brittle:  "…taking those drugs could make things worse and increase the risk of fracture…" (7)  In some cases, breaking of the thigh bone or damage to the jaw bone could occur without any warning or obvious cause. While the statistics of the drug companies downplay the rate of occurrence of these events, would you want to take the chance of having your leg break while standing at the sink preparing dinner?

So, is there a natural solution that can help reduce the rate of bone loss? Yes there is. Fantastic Foragers Benostia (a portmanteau of two words that can be translated as good and bone) has been developed after extensive exploration of scientific research that has been done on alternative plant-based solutions to bone loss.  This unique combination of herbs provides you with an herbal powder blend that slows down the process of bone loss, while providing the essential minerals of calcium, magnesium and silicon in a readily-absorbed form that are the foundations for healthy bone growth.

Benostia is an herbal powder for you to mix with yogurt (milk-based source of calcium) and eat as part of your daily health regimen. Visit our SHOP menu to find Benostia after 5 March 2024.
